Years of clean time flushed...just to get high

This past Friday, I had over 1600 days of clean time under my belt.

Today, I don't even have one.

I think coming back here and posting is an act of immense courage - but I expect no less from you Carl.

Fight this with everything you have Carl - you have no end of supporters here.

Don't beat yourself up too much Carl, just think of how many clean days you have had and get back and add to that amazing tally.

We are all here for you Carl.

Carl:

Eleven years from now, I want to read a post made by you which reads:

"I had 1,600 days; I messed up for 3 days, but now I have 4,000 days and going strong."

I have a strong feeling I won't be disappointed.
